Wheatley has broken bone in his foot

Colorado cornerback Terrence Wheatley is in danger of missing what could be the final game of his college career because of a fractured bone in his foot.

Wheatley suffered the injury two weeks ago against Missouri and missed last week's game at Iowa State, though he did travel with the team and stood on the sidelines wearing a protective boot.

"I'm feeling a lot better, I'm not wearing the boot any more," he said. "That's an upgrade I guess. I'm still in a little bit of pain when I run."

The Buffs have this week off, which should give the senior from Richardson, Texas, an opportunity to heal.

He said team physicians have told him the normal healing time for the injury is about two weeks. He said he is hoping to be feeling more like himself by the beginning of game week.

The Buffs are one win shy of bowl eligibility and facing what amounts to a playoff scenario when Nebraska comes to town Nov. 23. One last go-around with the Buffs' arch-rival combined with the fact that it will be the final home game of his career has Wheatley saying he will consider a cortisone shot prior to the contest if he is given the option.

"We'll wait and see, then at the last second, if we have to do whatever, then we'll do whatever," Wheatley said.
